I keep getting error for the following query
ALTER SCHEMA dbo TRANSFER domain-USERS\user.tablename;
I tried other table of the same database with a different name and it works fine. (like username.tablename)
So I think the problem is the hyphen in the username.
I also tried the following query but no help.
ALTER SCHEMA dbo TRANSFER 'domain-USERS\user'.tablename;
ALTER SCHEMA dbo TRANSFER 'domain-USERS\user.tablename';
Thanks
This is the correct syntax to transfer the table [A] from schema [B] into the schema [C].
ALTER SCHEMA C TRANSFER [B].[A]
On the right side of TRANSFER, there shouldn't be a WINDOWS login name.

I was running a script on the database that grants execute on all tables for the user 'R_USER' to the 'APP_WRITER' user. I received a "table or view does not exist" error.
to debug I put an dbms_output.putline(r.TABLENAME).
I noticed the problem is that there is a table on the R_USER with the name= 'USER_ARCH.LOGS', there is a schema in the database for the USER_ARCH, so there is this ambiguity.
My question is, how do I drop the 'USER_ARH.LOGS' table in the R_USER schema and not the USER_ARCH schema?
As simply using drop table USER_ARH.LOGS will try to drop the wrong table and give me an "insufficient privileges" error.
You need to use a quoted identifier:
DROP TABLE R_USER."USER_ARCH.LOGS";
I had a schema in one oracle DB as ui_prod. I asked my DBA team guys to create exactly same schema like ui_prod but as read only and name it ui_prod_readonly. Usually I will use Oracle SQL developer to connect a DB and query directly with table name like below.
--Connect to ui_prod
select * from table
but why I requested to put owner name infront when query for readonly schema they created for me, as without putting it, I get error table not exist.
--Connect to ui_prod_readonly
select * from ui_prod.table
I have project files which hardcode the sql query with only table names and adding owner name in front will cause many changes and effort. Can anyone explain me on this? or provide me any document/link to read. Thanks
You should look into synonyms, apparently the user you are connecting to the database as is not the owner of the objects. So to view the object you have to prepend the names with the schema name (the owner of the object themselves).
http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/synonyms.php
CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM ui_prod_readonly.synonym_name
FOR ui_prod.object_name
It seems to me that your dbas have not created another set of tables but just granted the existing tables to the user ui_prod_readonly.
When you log in to Oracle, the current schema is the name of the user you used to log in. So if you log in with ui_prod_readonly Oracle checks that schema for the table if you do not qualify it with the owner (=schema).
If you want to change the current schema so that you don't need to fully qualify the tables, you can do that with ALTER SESSION
alter session set current_schema = ui_prod;
Once you have done that, you don't need to fully qualify the table with the owner (=schema).
if you need a user to read the data only
its simple to create new user and grant it only select privilege
you can create user and grant select privilege using
CREATE USER [user] IDENTIFIED BY [your_password];
grant select on table to [user]
I use SQL developer and i made a connection to my database with the system user, after I created a user and made a another connection with that user with all needed privileges.
But when I try to proceed following I get the SQL Error
ORA-00942 table or view does not exist.:
INSERT INTO customer (c_id,name,surname) VALUES ('1','Micheal','Jackson')
Because this post is the top one found on stackoverflow when searching for "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist insert", I want to mention another possible cause of this error (at least in Oracle 12c): a table uses a sequence to set a default value and the user executing the insert query does not have select privilege on the sequence. This was my problem and it took me an unnecessarily long time to figure it out.
To reproduce the problem, execute the following SQL as user1:
create sequence seq_customer_id;
create table customer (
c_id number(10) default seq_customer_id.nextval primary key,
name varchar(100) not null,
surname varchar(100) not null
);
grant select, insert, update, delete on customer to user2;
Then, execute this insert statement as user2:
insert into user1.customer (name,surname) values ('michael','jackson');
The result will be "ORA-00942: table or view does not exist" even though user2 does have insert and select privileges on user1.customer table and is correctly prefixing the table with the schema owner name. To avoid the problem, you must grant select privilege on the sequence:
grant select on seq_customer_id to user2;
Either the user doesn't have privileges needed to see the table, the table doesn't exist or you are running the query in the wrong schema
Does the table exist?
select owner,
object_name
from dba_objects
where object_name = any ('CUSTOMER','customer');
What privileges did you grant?
grant select, insert on customer to user;
Are you running the query against the owner from the first query?
Case sensitive Tables (table names created with double-quotes) can throw this same error as well. See this answer for more information.
Simply wrap the table in double quotes:
INSERT INTO "customer" (c_id,name,surname) VALUES ('1','Micheal','Jackson')
You cannot directly access the table with the name 'customer'. Either it should be 'user1.customer' or create a synonym 'customer' for user2 pointing to 'user1.customer'. hope this helps..
Here is an answer: http://www.dba-oracle.com/concepts/synonyms.htm
An Oracle synonym basically allows you to create a pointer to an object that exists somewhere else. You need Oracle synonyms because when you are logged into Oracle, it looks for all objects you are querying in your schema (account). If they are not there, it will give you an error telling you that they do not exist.
I am using Oracle Database and i had same problem. Eventually i found ORACLE DB is converting all the metadata (table/sp/view/trigger) in upper case.
And i was trying how i wrote table name (myTempTable) in sql whereas it expect how it store table name in databsae (MYTEMPTABLE). Also same applicable on column name.
It is quite common problem with developer whoever used sql and now jumped into ORACLE DB.
in my case when i used asp.net core app i had a mistake in my sql query. If your database contains many schemas, you have to write schema_name before table_name, like:
Select * from SCHEMA_NAME.TABLE_NAME...
i hope it will helpful.
Is there a query in db2 9.7 control center wherein I can't DELETE(DROP) all the contents of my schema (including the schema) at once?
My other option is to drop/delete the objects first and then DROP schema..
But I want to DROP THE ENTIRE SCHEMA WITH ALL OBJECTS at once.
DROP SCHEMA <schema_name> CASCADE/RESTRICT didn't work for me.
The ADMIN_DROP_SCHEMA procedure is what you're looking for.
The ADMIN_DROP_SCHEMA procedure is used to drop a specific schema and all objects contained in it.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v9/topic/com.ibm.db2.udb.admin.doc/doc/r0022036.htm
First drop all the tables in the schema.
Then try to delete the schema using
DROP SCHEMA SCHEMA_NAME RESTRICT
webchain.in have sample java program, explains how to delete the schema using java program
in case drop schema fails after dropping all the tables with the error SQLCODE=-551, SQLSTATE=42501, try command
grant dbadm on database to USER_NAME
Question: when I create a table (T_TableName) using SQL Server Management-Studio, it always creates the table as
Domain\UserName.T_TableName
instead of
dbo.T_TableName
What's wrong ?
If you don't specify a schema explicitly on your table name to be created, it will be created in the user's current default schema.
I bet the user you're using has its own personal schema set as its default schema - that's why your tables get created in his own personal schema.
You can check what database users you have and what their default schema is by inspecting sys.database_principals (SQL Server 2005 and up):
SELECT name, type_desc, default_schema_name
FROM sys.database_principals
To solve this:
specify the schema you want to use explicitly (best practice anyway!)
CREATE TABLE dbo.T_TableName
change the user's default schema to dbo
ALTER USER [Domain\YourUser] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = dbo
But as a general rule of thumb, I recommend always using the "dbo." prefix explicitly, if you want to have all your database objects in the dbo schema. Helps with performance, too (ever so slightly) since SQL Server won't have to go hunting in different schemas, if you explicitly tell it where your db objects live.
You need to either create your table as "dbo.Whatever", OR you need to change your default schema (or have your SA do it for you) by issuing a command like:
ALTER USER [DOMAINNAME\UserName] WITH DEFAULT_SCHEMA = dbo;
Call it dbo.T_TableName in SSMS. If you have the correct permissions, it will work.
Are you assigned as db_owner for the database you created the table in? If not, this could be the issue. Try adding your user mapping permissions to the database as such.
USE [yourDatabase]
GO
EXEC sp_addrolemember N'db_owner', N'DOMAIN\UserOrGroup'
GO
